To show the great value of natural
gas to the community in which it ex-
lists, it is sufficient to state that in the
city of Pittsburg the consumption of
gas has displaced 10, 600 tons of coal per
day gas taking its place for all the pur-
poses for which coal was heretofore
used. The two principal wells of this
group, the Burns and the Delamatin,
are about 900 feet down to the fourth

THE Chicago News attributes to a
London journal the authorship of the
following instructive paragraph:
THE Indians now performing in the
American wild west exhibition are
principally from the territory of st.
Louis, a wild district lying between
Kansas City and Missouri, and not far
from Milwaukee. The Indians are
caught in traps set on the river banks.
They are baited, an American tells us,
with peculiar fluid called jersey
lightning The Indians are fond of
it. They smell it affair off. are tempted
into the trap and caught. Our in
formant says that many of the Indians
thus caught are used for cigar signs in
Chicago"
1t is hardly necessary to state that
Eugene Field is connected with the
News, and that he possibly is aware
that the above credit is unjust to the
Britons.

THE Pittsburg Dispatch perfumcto-
rily observes that women dress to at
tract the admiration of men. A very
wise woman long ago said that women
dress for each other-thereby meaning
that they dressed to excite the pique or
envy of their sex. This seems to be
proved by the fact that few men but
dealers in dry goods and skillful re-
porters who rely upon woman's aid
can describe a fashionable woman's at
tire. The average husband can't tell
what his wife wears when she appears
on dress parade. Male reporters as a
rule apply to the ladies themselves for
descriptions of their attire.

THE editor of the Wichita Journal
was robbed by highwaymen on Thurs
day evening last. When asked why he
did not show fight when ordered to
'hands up" he said because he re-
membered an old saying to the effect
that 1.-THE Lord hates Il fool, +" and he
objected to having his i'll will. Be-
sides, he claims that the man who re-
fused to put up his hands when the
order was enforced by revolver
touching his forehead was no good
Christian. Brother Reading should
remove from Wichita. He is too good
for that ungodly city.

Mr.. JOSEPH PULITZER, the editor of
the New York World, does not appear
to entertain profound respect for Mr..
Charles A. Dana, the editor of the New

World he characterizes the last named
gentleman as "a BLACKBOARD, lost to ev-
cry sense OF decency, II coward and a
liar" And yet the newspapers of the
metropolis disparagingly refer to the
lack of culture in ''the rowdy west.''

oLEYELAND AND TRE IRIsR.

According to the associated press re-
port, the occasion of the queens jubi-
lee day was taken advantage of by
Father Lakin, a prominent Irish Cath
Ole priest Of New York, as fit time to
show just how much enthusiasm the
Irish people have reason to display as
an Indication of their love for the queen
and British rule in general, and in
furtherance of this he celebrated SOL
emn requiem mass ''for the l 100000
persons who have died from hunger
and eviction under British misrule. :"
On the same date, among our tele-
grams, was the letter sent by President
Cleveland to the queen, congratulating
her upon the fiftieth anniversary of the
beginning of her reign, in which he
says:
/ but utter the general voice of my
fellow countrymen in wishing for your
people the prolongation of the reign SO
marked with the advance in popular
well being, physical, moral and intel
lectual.
1t is generally conceded that New
York is the pivotal state on which the
election of president depends. Itwas
so at the last election, when Cleveland
carried the state by an extremely small
plurality, and everything indicates that
it will again be the turning point in the
struggle.
This being conceded, and it also be
ing a well known fact that heretofore
the Irish Catholic vote in New York
has been almost solid one for the DEM
ocracy, the point of the above will be
at once seen. With their priests as in
structors, and the above letters as a
test, Cleveland's show for the Irish vote
will be slim one. Had he not already
made such an ass of himself over the
flag business, this letter, taken adyan
tage of so readily by the clergy, would
be enough to undue him in that state

Sparta State and Farm: J. NJ.
Franklin, who resides about four
miles south of Sparta, father of DR..
j. p. Franklin, of this place, is now
in the seuenty-eighth year Of his age.
The grst coat he ever wore was made
by Andrew Johnson, deceased. The
coat was made by Mr.. johnson in
1881, at Greenville, Tenn. Mr..
Franklin says he often thinks about
how careful Mr.. Johnson, who after
wards became President of the United
States, was in trying the coat On to
see if it fit him, and how much pains
he took to brush all the dust off the
coat for him, who, to use Mr.. Frank
Inns words, was "only a plain, old
fashioned farmer" The first vote
ever cast by Mr.. franklin was for
johnson, when he ran for Governor
of Tennessee. Notwithstanding Mr..
Franklin's advanced age, he is en-
joying very good health and is as full
of fun as a boy. He has voted the
democratic ticket straight for fifty
seven years.

against such a savage method of war
fare, and insist that Merrill has re-

lawful weapon. To attack a man
with stick, knife, a sword-cane, a
Spanish stilletto, rifle, double
barrelled shotgun loaded with slugs
and nails, and even, in exceptional
cases, with dynamite, is perhaps adj
Missile and according to precedent,
but, as brother Baskette says about
the water-dog in the milk, the line
must be drawn somewhere, and it is
certainlya refinement of cruelty and
the very quintessence Of barbarity to
assail brother editor in poetry. The

unfair proceeding.

THIS on the race prejudice from the
New York Post is good reading: A
negro lawyer of this city gives an in
teresting account in the Freeman of
his own experience or color prejudice
in New York restaurants. He went
into restaurant in Fulton Market,
where several people were eating,
and his order was refused on the
ground that they were not cooking
anything at that time. In a Cedar
street restaurant ''the waiter threw
napkin, knife, fork, plate, food, etc.,
at me as If | were wild animal and
he was afraid of being bitten, and
when he paid his bill the proprietor
told him that, although he personally
had no objection to serving q negro,
his customers didn't like it. He
patronized a Broadway restaurant
several times until the proprietor
told him that his white guests made
complaints. Lately he has been on a
trip to the South, and after observing
the freedom with which whites and
blacks seemed to mingle in work and
conversation on the train and at the
stations, he said to a negro friend,
Greatly, l believe that in some re-
spects there is more color prejudice in
the North than in the South" His
friend agreed with him, and he was
a man entitled to speak with author
ity upon this subject, for he is the
pastor of a church in Georgetown,
S. c., and has travelled in the North,
where he was Subjected to number
less insults by men who keep hotels
and restaurants"
